Nice

I was walking into the public library this morning and heard the noise of an airplane that I couldn't identify by sound. Then it came over the tree lime and flew over the library in about 1000' AGL.

it was a Skymaster, a Cessna 337. Those airplanes have the reputation of being serious maintenance, hogs, between the landing gear and the rear engine.those airplanes have the reputation of being serious maintenance, hogs, between the landing gear and the rear engine.

but there is something about them that appeals to me. I wish I could have flown one.

but those days are gone, and there is no point in dwelling on it.

It's EAA week here in Oshkosh. It'll be plane sound aficionado's paradise. The building where I work is just a few hundred yards from the airport and it sometimes sounds like a WWII movie. It's a whole lot of fun.

I always heard that if the first engine went out, the second engine was there to push you to the scene of the accident.

“How far will this plane fly on one engine?!?”

“All the way to the scene of the crash. Which is good, ‘cause that’s where we’re headed. We’ll even beat the paramedics there.”
